The Muse

(Originally posted on February 17th 2010)

Every writer,poet or artist needs a muse. I am trying a new muse. I don’t know if she will work for me or not. If not I have another muse as a back up. I would rather not use her because I believe in what I call ” The Curse of the Muse.” In my opinion a Muse is someone you love, desire and probably even lust after but you cannot have her. You should not have her. She should be placed on a pedestal. Bringing her down to your level by proclaiming your love to her or confessing that she is your muse will end the power and blessing of the muse. Why take a risk and risk the wrath of a woman and a muse? I value my life a lot. However one thing that has put me in a dilemma is whether a girlfriend or wife will be jealous. Hell hath no fury like a scorned woman. Getting Bobbitted would probably be my greatest fear. I don’t mind getting put in the dog house but one of sayings attributed to Confucius is “Man who gets kept in dog house ends in cat house soon.”
